The Hoppers - He Wrote My Name Lyrics
Lyrics
The blessed Savior wrote my name
When I was born again
He wrote it when He saved my soul
He wrote that I had made aright
My every sinful wrong
He wrote my name on heaven's roll
He wrote my name way up in glory
(My name way up, up in glory land)
He saved my soul from sin and shame
(Jesus saved my soul
From all sin and shame)
I never shall forget the day
(No, I never shall, shall forget the day)
The blessed Savior wrote my name
He wrote my name
If I should live a thousand years
Upon this earth below
I never could forget the day
When Jesus wrote my name
Into the blessed Book of Life
And took my many sins away
He wrote my name way up in glory
(My name way up, up in glory land)
He saved my soul from sin and shame
(Jesus saved my soul
From all sin and shame)
I never shall forget the day
(No, I never shall, shall forget the day)
The blessed Savior wrote my name
He wrote my name way up in glory
(My name way up, up in glory land)
He saved my soul from sin and shame
(Jesus saved my soul
From all sin and shame)
I never shall forget the day
(No, I never shall, shall forget the day)
The blessed Savior wrote my name
He wrote my name
He wrote my name way up in glory
(My name way up, up in glory land)
He saved my soul from sin and shame
(Jesus saved my soul
From all sing and shame)
I never shall forget the day
(No, I never shall, shall forget the day)
The blessed Savior wrote my name
He wrote my name
I never shall forget the day
(No, I never shall, shall forget the day)
The blessed Savior wrote my name
He wrote my name

The Hoppers - He Wrote My Name
Meaning & Inspiration
The Hoppers' rendition of "He Wrote My Name," released on their 2022 album *Generations*, is a powerful testament to the transformative power of faith. This song dives deep into the profound experience of salvation, articulating a truth that resonates deeply within the Christian experience: the indelible mark of God's grace upon the soul. The central message revolves around the act of Christ writing one's name, not as a mere administrative detail, but as a declaration of belonging, redemption, and eternal security. This imagery directly echoes the promise found in Revelation 3:5, where Jesus declares, "The one who is victorious will, like these, be dressed in white. I will never blot out the name of that person from the book of life, but will confess that name before my Father and before his angels." The lyrics powerfully convey that this divine inscription signifies a complete transformation, where past transgressions are washed away and a new identity in Christ is established. This aligns with scriptures like 2 Corinthians 5:17, which states, "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: the old has gone, the new is here!" The repeated emphasis on never forgetting the day this divine act occurred underscores the life-altering significance of this encounter with the Savior, drawing parallels to the disciples' unwavering remembrance of Christ's miracles and teachings. The song beautifully articulates the assurance that comes from knowing one's name is "written way up in glory," a celestial affirmation of belonging that transcends earthly struggles and temporal limitations. This is not just a fleeting feeling, but a deeply rooted assurance that finds its grounding in God's faithfulness, as reiterated in Philippians 4:3, where Paul speaks of those whose names are in the "book of life." The Hoppers, with their rich heritage in gospel music, deliver this message with a sincerity and conviction that amplifies its impact, encouraging listeners to reflect on their own journeys of faith and the eternal significance of Christ’s redemptive work.
